A harsh cough or throat clearing can cause trauma to the vocal chords so should be reduced as much as possible. The reason for harsh coughing/throat clearing is usually caused through either thick mucus from dry vocal folds or from over production of mucus as in colds.

i think vocal chords work when the flaps of the vocal chords are pushed together to make a noise, then your mouth forms it into words.
Your vocal folds (also called the ventricular folds) are toward the top of your larynyx, protecting your vocal chords. These folds help prevent you from breathing in solids. A very interesting effect is produced when you sing and you get these folds to vibrate. They will vibrate at half the speed of your vocal chords, and produce a sound an octave lower than the note you are singing with your vocal chords. This sounds much like a foghorn or a prolonged burp. The people most noted for producing this effect, theTuvans, call this effect kargyraa.
